    Do You Really Need a Video Podcast? Let’s Look at the Data

    Are you feeling the sudden pressure to turn your audio show into a video podcast? With Apple Podcasts recently announcing that they are optimizing their platform for video content, many audio-only podcasters are left wondering if they are about to become obsolete. The fear of "missing the boat" often leads to rushed decisions and creator burnout. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, Alesia Galati dives deep into the "audio vs. video" debate. We explore the latest industry data, discuss Apple's platform shifts, and walk through a critical capacity audit to help you determine if you have the resources to make the transition without losing your mind.

Determine if you have the time, energy, and budget to handle the extra layers of video editing and production required for a quality show.Document Your Workflow: Learn why having a clearly documented process is essential before making any major changes. Whether you are staying audio-only or shifting to video, your podcasting strategy must be repeatable and sustainable.Align with Audience Preferences: Use data to drive your decision rather than trends. We discuss how to evaluate where your specific audience is hanging out and whether they truly want—or need—to see you on screen.Plan for Intentional Transitions: If you decide to go video, learn the key adjustments needed to your hosting, SEO, and content creation workflows to ensure a smooth transition for your listeners.You get to decide what your show looks like. Don't let a platform update bully you into burnout. This week, I challenge you to sit down and do a capacity audit.

Creative PR isn't just about news; it’s about positioning your thought leadership in a way that search engines and listeners can't ignore.Implement the Four-Post Social Plan: Abandon the post every day grind.

Pick one or two primary platforms where your audience actually hangs out and master those before expanding.

    How Do I Get More People to Listen to My Podcast?

    If you’ve noticed that your podcast downloads are stagnant or experiencing a dip, you are not alone. Over the last year, many podcasters saw anywhere from a 15-30% drop in their downloads, causing some concern. While we know now that much of this download dip had to do with changes to how Apple Podcasts records downloads and not a reflection of the podcasts themselves, however, these download numbers are important for those of us that are focused on growing our show. This week, episode 30 of Successful Podcasting Unlocked answers the question: How do I get more people to listen to my podcast? In this episode, I share: Set SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) goals for podcast growth. Focus on one or two goals for at least 6 months before switching the focus. Examples of podcast growth goals may include doubling your downloads or increasing your follower count. 6 actions to focus on when trying to grow your podcast listenership.  To learn more & sign up for the Podcast Growth Intensive, go to galatimedia.com/intensive  Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips, tricks, and advice as I answer all your podcasting questions.

    Journalism Secrets for High-Impact Podcast Interviews with Tanya Targett Camacho

    Do your interviews feel repetitive or shallow?
